After reading @Shane 's post I sat back and thought to myself, what a complete dick I have been. As a player, I understand the frustrations and disappointments from my perspective *this has got a lot to do with the thief class though* but generally, when it comes to a massive influx of negative comments towards the mechanics behind the server, I couldn't really begin to imagine how much pressure us as players put onto the shoulders of the staff here. Strange really, I was one of those who were calling for change to attitudes around here and unfortunately, I went with the ebb and flow of others here providing assistance to the problem, allowing the problem to expand without a second thought to the human cost.
I will try and do the right thing here, I hope others can follow in my steed but it is time to put to rest a few things.
Firstly, I would like to apologize to staff, all the staff, if I fuelled any fires regarding anything, I can be a little opinionated, especially when passionate about something, they say that old habits die hard but unfortunately this has been something which I have not really taken into account IF I was bombarded with a mess of issues, complaints, judgements and criticism. Henceforth, anything related to events, special occasions and such will only be criticised if completely necessary with the most relevant of points which are debated professionally and adult like.
Secondly, @Messremb, I am sorry for the way I treated you, please try and understand that I am very protective of friends regardless if they appear as text on a screen or real life. I have been an idiot to take things so far out of context. They say that apologizing about something lifts a burden, it sure does
.
Thirdly, I feel as a community we really need to pull together more. There are times when someone will get upset over something and vent their frustrations on here or in game and that is completely fine, but taking things to a level where there are accusations regarding real life stuff, this has to stop. If things happen in real life which are way below moral standards, then obviously that needs to be acted upon away from here and the relevant authorities informed.
Forth and last, Ultima Online has always been a game based around grief and a lot of this can be directed towards a truly open world PVP environment. Common sense prevails when dealing with people in game and obviously a repetition of killing the same person over and over can lead to disastrous consequences. Lately, this has changed somewhat with people resurrecting players and not actually looting, I was murdered in fire dungeon yesterday by the ooOOOoo OOo guys, I expected the same old thing where I was left to run around in ghost form and losing any items on my corpse. Surprisingly, I was resurrected, even when it was difficult to do so because of the spawn and nothing was looted. This gave me a lot of faith in the community again, if a few people can start doing this more then perhaps there is a way to completely reduce the full out assault on Player Killers in this game *I will add that looting is a part of the game..*
I will now take my sorry ass over to the naughty corner and sit there for a couple hours.. *hangs head in shame*
